Joker watched his buddy carefully. The boy was sleeping. He crossed his blades as he carefully observed the boy. He could see some uneasiness on his face, as if he was fearing something. The ice monster knew what it was, but couldn't voice it. He knew the moment was coming soon, very soon. He could see some of Miseria power beginning to manifest in the boy.

He looked outside and looked at the moon, "Miseria is coming back," he whispered. His friend known as Kiri might left soon. He didn't want that, but at the same time, he didn't want Miseria to be forever gone. It wasn't because he preferred Kiri, it was because Miseria did so many things for him, just like Kiri did. He turned towards the boy.

He walked outside of the room. The night was young and maybe they weren't sleeping. He searched for the phone. He put it on the table and called Gao. It took a few seconds to succeed and he rested his head against the phone. He couldn't hold it.

"Gao. It's Joker. The time has come. His power is manifesting and I think Yamigedo might feel it soon. I want you to come as soon as you can," he nodded as he heard the reply, "Thanks Gao."

He ended the call after a few more words and sat on a chair. He put his blades on his knees. All he could hope for what that everything will be fine. That not everything would be over with Kiri soon. And that Gao would be there in time, before the demons would strike against his friend. If they came, he would fight with everything he had to take those demons down. It was his duty as the guardian of Miseria, especially as long as his power hadn't fully awakened.

Episode 35: The Awakening Of Miseria Part 1

Gao and Drum were in the train that would bring them to the boarding house. The two sat quietly together. It was Saturday afternoon, so they could stay for the night at the boarding house. The only reason they managed to go there without having to explain everything was that Gao's father vouch for them.

The two humans already explained to the dragon what was going on and why they went to visit Kiri. Drum was not in the know until now.

Takashi also accompanied them as he knew the true, "Are you ready to help Kiri?"

"Of course, dad," the boy replied.

"Kiri is our friend and we won't let him down," the red dragon pouted, "You could have told me sooner Gao," he didn't blame the boy, as he did the same with his duel against Mizaru. He gazed outside and saw they were approached their destination. It would still take a while, "I still can't believe we have an Omni Lord so close to us last year, and he didn't know he was one."

"I don't know why, but he is still my friend. I know Kiri will still be here with us, even when he reawakened his power," the boy let out a confident smile.

The dragon chuckled as his tail tapped the chair he was sitting on, "And I'll give Joker a piece of my mind."

Takashi nodded. He remembered when the ice monster threatened his son. He didn't let it go, which was one reason he accompanied his son. The other was that if they couldn't help him, he needed one of his parents by his side just in case.

On another bench a green dragon in his SD form raised his head as he eavesdropped on their conversation. He went in the train to reach the destination where he felt some strange power manifesting.

It was a bipedal dragon with blue eyes, brown hair and a pair of golden horns. He wore a green armor, a cape of the same color and a green hat with red feathers on it. The dragon wondered if he should introduce himself to the red dragon. He already recognised the power of the Omni Lord within Drum. He put his hat over his face. He wondered how he should challenge the dragon. Right now, it wasn't the time for that. He had to investigate and figured out the strange energy going on in the north. This train was the best way of transportation. It was faster than his flight speed. On another plus side, he could take a nap and enjoy a nice meal or two. After wondering for a long time, he climbed off the bed and went towards the group.

The little green dragon approached them and politely waited for them to look at him. It took a minute or two before he got their attention.

"Can we help you?" Takashi asked the small green dragon.

Drum lightly frowned when his gaze crossed those of the small dragon. He wondered if it was possible that he crossed path with another Cavalry Knight.

"Yes. I noticed you Drum Bunker Dragon and I know that you inherited my previous Omni Lord will," he bowed to them as he got their full attention, "Pardon me. I forgot to tell you my name. I am the Fifth Omni Cavalry Dragon, Wind Bow Meglax. Just Meglax is fine," he raised his body and looked at the group.

"The third one found us," Gao commented, glad they crossed path with one of the Cavalry Dragon. Still, they had no time for the challenge, "Can we wait for the challenge Meglax? We are already busy with something."

"Me too. I felt a disturbance of energy, surely coming from a monster. I went there to investigate. I told the other Cavalry Knights to remained in Tokyo," he grabbed his hand, "But it seemed that fate allowed us to cross path."

"I'm Gao Mikado."

"Takashi Mikado."

"My real name is Fang Slade Terrestrial XIV. But I rather be called Drum."

"A long lineage of Terrestrial," Meglax commented. He heard of that lineage when he joined the Cavalry Knight. One of them was a rival of the XIII. He chose not to tell that detail. It would be a good or bad surprise for the new Omni Lord.

"Yup," Drum proudly replied.

"And I guess that you three are going to get off the train soon," he pointed outside and the forest was slowly claiming its right in the land.

"Yes."

"Maybe we are investigating the same thing. Instead of just wandering around, I don't mind teaming up with you three," he gazed at the Omni Lord, "I'll also have a peek at your capacity as an Omni Lord. I wonder if you truly inherited Tenbu's will."

"Doble and Mizaru already believed so," Gao replied.

"I know. They sent us a message that they joined you. Doble has some doubt about it."

"That little," the Omni Lord pouted.

"You are still a youngling," the Cavalry Knight commented. He looked at his possible new lord and added, "But you must have great potential in the eyes of Tenbu. That's what I'm going to observe. Satisfy me."

He sat with them and it was quiet for a while. They weren't sure what to reply or what to do.

The Sun Fighter smiled and said, "Welcome with us. I'm not sure if Kiri has a place for you. You came by surprise."

"I just hope that Yamigedo soldiers isn't there before we reach our destination," Drum grumbled.

Meglax nodded in agreement. His instinct was telling him it was an Omni Lord that awakened. He hoped they were there in time, and saw what potential this Drum had. He really hoped the red dragon could reach his expectation.

The four weren't the only one going to the woods and examine what was going on. There were two others who were following them in another wagon. Out of the sight of the four, to avoid detection. Shido, Sofia and Gallows were looking outside and watching the forest was getting dense.

"Dad would have love to see this," the boy commented.

"His time is jail is approaching it's end," the girl reminded him.

"I know," if you haven't helped the Buddy Police Force, you might have been in there for ten years at least and not just for a little time, he thought.

The Darkness Dragon gazed outside of the window and let out a small 'Sha'. He crossed his arms and knew it was his fault everything ended that way. His buddy wasn't bringing it up, but it was clear that the finger was pointed at him.

"I should tell you why we are going there again," she told them.

"Yeah. We can end up in big trouble," the boy said as he gulped. They barely knew anything about their current master, but it could go badly quickly.

"We go there and investigate the sudden increase of energy going on in the forest. Our master suspect that an Omni Lord is manifesting over there. Maybe more. We have to find out if it is an Omni Lord and if yes, we take care of them. Maybe Drum as he is one too," she said.

The darkness dragon grumbled, "And we only have one demon to help us for this mission," he turned around and looked at the others, "That dragon is an Omni Lord now. If there is another Omni Lord, we have little chance to beat them."

The two humans thought about it.

Shido suggested, "Maybe it's because he wants to see who it was and know how to deal with them. We don't know which Omni Lord is maybe manifesting."

"And we don't know if it is one of the most powerful Omni Lord or not," Sofia thought back. They knew there was one of them who was known as the powerhouse of the Omni Lords. What they knew was that the monster wasn't speaking with words, but with grunts. He was the current most dangerous Omni Lords, with Tenbu gone.

"We'll know when we see it. We are almost at our destination," Sofia said. She added, "And we also need to collect a little bit of the Omni Lords. Gratos has a means to effectively defeat them."

"Wait," the boy had a thought, "What do we do if they saw us here? Because we shouldn't be there for any reasons."

She thought about it. Her friend was right and if they were seen, what would their excuse be. She replied, "We avoid being seen. That's the best thing we can do for now. If we are seen, we might try to say its coincidence or… Kyoya sent us there to investigate the strange events. Kyoya is curious about it too," she nodded at herself. It was a good idea for her.

"Yeah. We go with Kyoya telling us to go there," Gallows concluded.

They had their backup plan if they were stopped.

Unbeknown to them, they were being stalked by someone else and his buddy. The two let out a small grin as the monster told him what he listened.

"Looks like something interesting is going on," the boy grin grew larger as he gazed back to his buddy.

Gao, his father, his buddy and the Cavalry Knight went out of the train and marched towards the boarding house.

"How are we going to handle this?" Drum asked.

Gao thought about it and frowned; he had no idea how he could be of any help.

"Let me ask Joker. I think I know what we should do, but we need to be sure this is the right thing," Takashi replied.

Meglax was confused about what the three were talking about. They already knew more than him, "What's going on? It seems like you know what is causing this phenomenon."

The three wondered if they should explain it or not.

Drum crossed his arms and made the decision, "Gao and his dad made a promise to Joker. You need to ask him what is going on. I won't break their promise."

The green dragon gazed at the Omni Lord for a few seconds, before dropping his hat with a hint of annoyance, but letting out a small smile, "Fine. Those two you mentioned must know what is going on. Still, we should hurry before they come here."

Takashi took the lead and the others followed him.

The four were unaware that they were being followed at a safe distance by Sofia, Shido and Gallows. They were grumbling about how they couldn't know more about what was going on.

"What's going on here?" a voice whispered behind them.

"I am curious too about this master of yours," another one said.

He had peach skin brown and yellow hair brown eyes. He wore a white shirt with a skull on the chest and pale magenta pants.

The monster was a darkness dragon with a bronze body, a red eye on the middle of his forehead, two wings, two arms ending with sharp blade and a long tail without legs. He was in his SD form and didn't appear that inoffensive compared to Gallows in his SD form.

They immediately recognised Davide and his buddy Death Dragon, Deathgaze Dragon.

The three frowned, not liking where this was going.

Sofia quickly acted and ordered, "Follow me and I won't have to silence you forever Davide," despite her voice sounding as usual, there was a big hint of a threat towards the boy.

Davide grinned and followed her, while his buddy flew behind him.

Gao was the first to open the door leading in the building where his friends were living.

Joker was serving the best of his capacity other guests. They were all cute young women who seemed to have a get together for the week ends. Kiri wasn't anywhere in sight. The boy guessed he was in the kitchen.

Joker noticed them and waved at them, "Hello you-" he noticed the green dragon, "Four? Make yourself at ease. I'll finish serving the ladies here and I'll greet you."

"No problem Joker," Gao replied.

Takashi guided them at a tablet.

The four ignored the woman talking together. It was clear that those women just recently finished their studies and spent their last moments together before they had to hunt for jobs.

Takashi remembered he did that when the studies were over. The adult world was very demanding and he did something like that with his friends. Good old times came in his mind, I'm getting old, he let out a soft sighed and smiled. That meant that his children were getting older and it was a good thing.

The ice monster approached them and asked, "Do you need anything?"

"No thanks," Drum said as he crossed his fingers, "We came for your call. I know what's going on."

Joker nodded and turned his attention to the green dragon.

"That's Meglax. He is a Cavalry Dragon," Gao presented the monster.

"I see," he nodded.

"They haven't told me anything, if you are wondering that. It's up to you," he lightly raised his green had.

"Good. I'll explain later," he turned towards the kitchen and went in there, "Kiri. Don't give your new visitors the cooold shoulder. Gao is waiting for you."

"Gao?" Kiri came out of the kitchen and let out a large smile, "Gao! What are you doing here? You didn't call me."

The Mighty Sun Fighter smiled, "We came to pay you a visit," he raised his hands, "And a few other things."

"Something is going on? And who is that?" he pointed at the green dragon.

"I am Meglax. Full name, Fifth Omni Cavalry Dragon, Wind Bow Meglax," he replied.

"O-Okay," the blue haired boy nervously chuckled, "Need anything right now?"

"No thanks. We told that to Joker," the red dragon replied.

"Okay. It's still the middle of the afternoon. I'll finish cleaning everything," he returned to the kitchen.

Meglax lightly frowned as he did notice something about the boy. He felt something coming out of him, but it wasn't what brought him in the house. There was something else in the woods. Still, the boy was worth the attention. He also noticed the others were focused on him, we are at the same place for different reasons… But I'm feeling like they are both important. That boy… he looked a little like M- Could it be? He wondered. He won't make any assumption, because the ice monster might explain everything.

Joker came and finished serving the women who kept talking together, "Come with me. I told Kiri I'll show you your room and… Let's talk," he suspiciously gazed at the dragon.

"Do not worry. On the honor of my position as the Cavalry Knight, I won't reveal any of your secrets," Meglax said.

"Good," he had to trust him. He knew he could have faith in those dragons.

They climbed the stairs and they entered in the chamber. The monster of ice waited for them to climb on their bed. He closed the door and crossed his blades, "Gao. I called you because the moment is coming very soon. With those strange earthquakes and something I am starting to feel in the woods, Miseria already began to manifest himself. It's still subtle, but whatever is going on in the woods might make him wake up faster than I hoped for."

"This boy is Miseria… I felt that familiar power in him," the green dragon nodded.

"Yes. My buddy is Miseria, but he wasn't since Yamigedo has been sealed. He was Kiri for so long, living the life of a human by curiosity, before embracing the life of a human for a long time," his red eyes went to Gao, "As I said, with everything going on in the woods, I fear that Yamigedo's demons might come after him, attracted by what lies in the woods. It will be for the best, for both Kiri and Miseria that he comes back now. I… I called because I need your help."

"Of course, we will," Gao replied.

"I can help anyway I can," Takashi replied.

"Of course, I'll help Miseria," Meglax replied.

"Thank you all," Joker bowed to the group and he turned around, "I need… to get everything ready. It might take a while and with everyone around, it's better to wait. When the night comes, we will do it. For Kiri," he said with a hint of sadness and nervousness. The anticipation of what was to come made him fearful of the result. He walked outside of the chamber and mentally prepared himself.

The Cavalry Knight said, "I'll be direct. I came from something else that was suspicious. What is going on in the forest I mean. However, it's important that we help Miseria first. You have my support."

"Thanks," Gao replied.

Takashi thought about it and wondered how he could help Kiri when he turned back to Miseria. He didn't want to let all of the weight on Gao. If he could help, he'll do it.

Sofia suddenly stopped when they were deep enough in the forest. She quickly turned around and coldly asked, "Why are you even here Davide?" she showed her spellcard ready to use against the boy.

"I followed you when I heard and see a few really nice things," he put his hands in his pockets and let out a small grin, "And I heard a few things. You are working for a master? Seems like it's the one who might have cause chaos at the Buddy Police Force headquarters. I watched a boy and his buddy coming in there and after this…"

"I saw a lot of destructions as I watched the chaos," Deathgaze chuckled as he played with his claws.

"This isn't something to enjoy. We are here on an important mission and an outsider like you should go back where you come from," the girl ordered.

The boy grinned as he turned towards Gallows, "And why is he with you?"

The three knew they couldn't tell the why.

"No one wanted to be my buddy. They don't like it when I scare them. Sha. Sha. Shame for them," the darkness dragon replied.

"Now leave," Sofia ordered.

"Let's go," Shido said.

Davide chuckled, "I'm not going anywhere. Whatever is going on, I want to be a part of it. It seems to be fun to hang up and help this master of yours."

"Me too. I am fairly interested in challenging anyone who stopped us before," Deathgaze added as he snickered viciously. He didn't get over what happened when he lost last year and he wanted revenge.

"And you think betraying Azi Dahaka like that is a good idea? You are still under his order," Gallows warned him, as he played with his claws.

The dragons were ready to go physical if the humans didn't do anything soon. They could see them glaring at each other's already.

Shido and Sofia searched for a way to avoid a fight. They could get spotted by Gao and the others and they would be pointlessly in trouble. Even more because Davide was with them and he might try to rat them out.

"I don't care who my master is Gallows. I only follow those who do something that catch my interest. Right now, Azi Dahaka is boring."

Gallows crossed his arms and said, "Sha."

"Kyoya is also boring. He has nothing interesting to do and he wants nothing to do with my buddy anymore," the darkness dragon continued.

"That says a lot about your buddy. Sha. Sha," the other darkness dragon replied.

"Enough all if you," the girl ordered. She got the attention of everyone. She pointed her finger at Davide, "If you really want to do anything, you will have to convince Gratos and not us."

"No need for that. I'll just prove it myself… Unless you want to fight me now and whatever you are doing here, you will fail," Davide let out a large grin.

"You think you have a chance to quietly defeat me Gallows?"

They didn't know what to reply.

Gallows was the one who decided, "Whatever Sha. If you fail, all the blame is on you," he pointed his claws at the boy and his buddy, "However, they are many things you cannot do, if you don't want to be punished and execute for that," his purple eyes shined a little more as if he was enjoying that threat that remained unsaid.

"I don't care," Deathgaze replied as he raised his hands.

"Tell us what to do," the boy had a satisfied grin.

"First thing, is what you cannot do," Sofia played along, "You cannot push Gao over the edge or he might activate the Future Force. That means that you automatically lose and if he mastered the Future Force, it's over for us. It is the power that overcame Azi Dahaka."

Davide had trouble to believe that part, but the facts was on their side. He sighed and put his hands on his hips, "Fine. What boring things left you have to tell me before I do what I want?"

"We are here to kill an Omni Lord, if it is one that is releasing a strange energy here," Shido continued, grasping enough courage to speak, "If not, we don't cause unnecessary trouble or they will really be onto us."

"You also disguised as those Death Shido right?" Davide wondered as he approached them.

"Shido, what a stupid name you gave to yourself," Deathgaze commented.

Gallows had to agree, but he added, "And that's why they don't suspect my buddy. So obviously pointing to him."

The other dragon could only grumble.

"I don't need to disguise myself like you. They won't find me even if they saw my face," the boy chuckled as he grabbed his deckcase, "I'll handle this on my own."

Sofia grabbed the card with the sealed demon and said, "This is a demon that serves Yamigedo. If you want to do it on your own, you'll have to handle the demon and fight them yourselves."

The boy grabbed it, "I'll get rid of Gao first. If he is gone, it's over for them, right?"

They couldn't protest as the girl admitted, "Drum is the new Omni Lord of Dragon World, so they are a target."

"They will have the night of their night," Davide walked away with his buddy. The two were chuckling at the upcoming chaos and destruction.

The two humans and Gallows remained on the side, wondering what now.

"What do we do?" Shido wondered.

"I'll tell Gratos what happened and what we have to do to avoid failing our mission. Meanwhile, you two go in the forest and find out what is causing the disturbance of energy. Maybe it's another Omni Lord."

"We are on its Sha," the darkness dragon pulled the boy and went deeper in the forest.

The girl prepared to communicate with Gratos as she cursed herself. She didn't notice they were followed by Davide and his buddy. This was not supposed to happen and it might cause Kyoya plan to fail. She decided to call him later and figure out something to do.

She took out a spellcard and began to communicate with the demon, "Gratos. I have some potential bad news to tell you."

The skull face of the demon wasn't looking pleased at all, "-What is it?-"

"We have been followed by someone who wants to serve our master Yamigedo. However, I have no idea of his loyalty."

"-What?-" he grunted.

"We have to let him handle Gao and the Omni Lord Drum. We will use this distraction to investigate the forest. If you want to be certain of his loyalty, you'll test him later."

"-Why did you let him handle the Omni Lord? This wasn't the order.-" the second in command of Yamigedo army was infuriated.

"If we followed your order, he would fight us and the plan would be a complete failure. Our enemies will know who we are and arrest us. Getting the place where our master is resting. It was the best option we have. I'm sorry master Gratos," she wanted to bit her tongue for saying that.

Gratos let out a loud grunt as he punched something, "-I'll accept this as you not being responsible. However, make sure you won't be noticed next time.-"

"We won't. Deathgaze, this boy's buddy is good at hiding in the darkness and shadows," she bowed to him.

"-Still, use this chance to get everything you can.-"

"We won't fail, as long as they are distracted, we act," Sofia replied.

The communication ended. The girl was relieved that the rage wasn't on them, but Davide. However, what would come next, she didn't know.

The night came. Gao was up. Despite completely believing that Kiri would remain, there was a hint of a doubt troubling him. He knew it wasn't good to doubt himself, but the time was coming. It's not something that he would admit. He won't. He couldn't doubt his friend.

The rest of the day, he spent it talking with Kiri and getting some catching up. It was nice to know what was going on and his friend was sure worried when he learned everything that happened since last time. He remembered the surprise look on his friend gaze when he learned that Drum was an Omni Lord. It all started because Kiri noticed that the dragon's armor was different.

He wondered where Meglax went most of the day. He was waiting with them in the chamber.

Someone knocked at their door.

"Gao. It's time," his father told him.

The boy stood up and nodded, "Yeah. It's time to help Kiri."

They walked outside of their chamber. Joker was waiting for them at the other side, "Not too loud. The other guests are sleeping and we don't want to end up frozen in shame for waking them up. Follow me."

The five went to the main room. The blue-haired boy was there and was yawning, "Sup. Joker… why did you want us to stay up? I know Gao won't be here for long, but we have work tomorrow."

"I know Kiri, but they are things going on in the woods and we have to address them."

"You mean the earthquake buddy? I know they are getting more and more frequent. I don't know why, but I think I'm starting to get a headache," he nervously chuckled, "It's not the same as before Joker. Don't worry about it. I won't let something like that ended us being buddies," he gazed at the side, he was obviously afraid it might be the case.

"Don't worry Kiri. It's not the same. You didn't get anything weird like the Disaster Core or anything trying to get in your mind," Gao let out a large reassuring smile.

Drum noticed that the smile was a little too large, you're getting nervous buddy.

"It's not… just about that," Joker started. He hesitated and gazed at the others.

Takashi sat by the side of the boy and said, "There is something else going on, but Joker doesn't want to scare you or hurt you."

"W-what is it then? It's worse than-"

"Nononono!" Joker quickly replied was he waved his blades.

Takashi continued, "It's about you, but nothing bad. Joker told us a few things that he was nervous about, since the time was slowly coming."

"What do you know about the Omni Lords?" Meglax asked.

"Omni Lords? Aren't they monsters from different worlds that used their power to maintain balance and-" Kiri realised what he was saying and put his hands on his mouth, "W-what am I saying?"

The group knew that everything was going back to him. They talked about the Omni Lords, but never with that much detail.

"And what about the third Omni Lord?" Drum asked.

Kiri grew nervous when he thought about it. He put his hands on his chest and replied, "Well… I somehow know, but it makes me nervous. It's like… something I don't want to think about and- I think about my father somehow."

The group looked at each other's. They wondered what they should do next.

Joker knew what and approached his buddy, "Kiri. There is something we know and I didn't want them to share it with you. I wanted you to enjoy your life as long as possible, but it isn't anymore?"

"What's going on?" the boy looked at his friend who grabbed his hand.

"I am by your side Kiri," the Sun Fighter replied.

Kiri gulped lightly as he turned towards the frozen monster, "Am I…" he got a nod and said nothing else.

The monster replied, "Yes. You are the third Omni Lord Kiri. Some of your memories are beginning to resurface. Memories of an old life," he kneeled down in front of his buddy, "You are Miseria."

The boy panicked and replied, "N-no. I'm not him. I'm just-" he grabbed his head and nervously trembled.

"You will always be Kiri," Gao confidently replied.

Drum stood up, "Kiri. They are some people with bad intentions coming to hurt you. Because of what's going on in the forest, they might be coming here soon. We want you to be ready."

"No," the young boy replied.

Takashi sighed and took the lead, "Kiri. I know it's scary. We cannot understand how you are feeling right now. We know you don't want to accept this as the true. That you aren't Kiri. However, my son and his buddy are still calling you Kiri. You know why?"

"N-no," he began to lightly sob.

"Because you are Kiri and will remain Kiri. We all believe that. Joker too, but he isn't that good at explaining it."

"H-hey! You want to freeze me with shame or what?" Joker too offense as he huffed and crossed his blades.

His buddy lightly chuckled as he slowly recovered. He gazed at his friend Gao. He looked up to him. His friend was brave. He was afraid of it, is it real or not? What would you do Gao? He knew the answer. He was afraid of the true, afraid he might be Miseria. The image of his father came in his mind. It was familiar and the energy in the forest too. Those memories he shouldn't have, slowly floating in the back of his mind. It awoke with his headache, "Joker… What now?"

The monster gazed at the boy, then at the group and then back to his buddy, "I want you to come with me. There is a small cavern in the woods. Once we go there, it will help you remember everything."

That made the boy nervous, "Y-yeah," If I'm not, then nothing happens.

"Kiri. I want you to be strong. When you go in there, I'll be by your side, because I've been with Miseria side since our life crossed path. I will never leave you alone. I will never let anyone hurt you. If you need help, I'll be there for you. You are not alone."

"And we are here with you," Gao said with a small smile and winked at his friend.

"Don't forget about us," Drum waved his hands while Takashi nodded.

"I'll make sure no one tries to hurt you. Miseria is truly a respectable Omni lord," Meglax said.

Joker took the lead and the others followed him as they went outside of the boarding house.

The group walked outside and wandered in the woods.

"What is so special about the cavern?" Drum asked.

"I… I cannot really explain well. It's better that you see it with your eyes," the ice monster replied.

Kiri was a little nervous as he wondered if it was true or not. Still, he had to take Gao as an example. He will face whatever was hiding in that cavern. Whatever the true is. He helped his friends against the Disaster Forces, now, it wasn't that different, he told himself many times.

The two dragons stopped when they sniffed something wrong in the air. There were intruders near them. Two of them and it wasn't the other humans in the boarding house.

Drum and Meglax turned around, muscles tensing under their scales.

Gao turned around and when he saw them grunting, knew that something was up, "Someone is following us."

"Two. A human and a darkness dragon," his buddy resumed.

"Show yourself!" Joker ordered as he waved his blades, "Because we don't want you to leave us in the cold you know. Maybe I can freeze you up you little sneakers."

"Too much puns," his buddy whispered.

"Fine," someone replied.

They didn't like who said that. The voice was familiar. Only Takashi and Meglax didn't find any familiarity in that voice.

Davide and his buddy Deathgaze came out of their hiding spot.

"It has been a long time. Remember me?" the monster asked before snickering.

Drum had a deadpan face as he asked, "Who are you again?"

"You bastard!" the darkness dragon yelled, "You dare to forget me! I am the dragon who almost killed that Jackknife Dragon when he was searching for his poor little buddy who left him. Tasuku the whiny boy."

Gao and Drum frowned and really wanted to bring them down.

"What are you doing here? Kids your age shouldn't go outside on their own," Takashi said as he crossed his arms.

"I don't care what my parents would want," Davide replied as he took a step forward. He raised his fingers and pointed at them, "I am here to give a little help to your enemy Gao. I'm here to kill an Omni Lord and your buddy is one."

The moment the boy and the dragon heard that, they knew he wasn't aware that Kiri was an Omni Lord. It was good news.

Gao looked at the others and said, "Go. We'll handle him."

"Davide and that, whoever that dragon is, aren't trouble to us," the red dragon replied.

Deathgaze was insulted and showed his fangs and hissed at them.

The others left except for Meglax who remained on the side of the two, "I think I'll remain here. I'm not sure those two are the only one. If a demon is nearby…" he took his real form. He looked the same, but looked menacing as he frowned at them. He took out his bow and let it on the side, "But if you are convinced to defeat those two, you won't need my help."

Drum chuckled as he took his real form. He took out his long katana and pointed at the darkness dragon, "I'm ready to beat you and be on my way," the red dragon was only pretending to get cocky. He knew they were dangerous.

Davide chuckled as he showed a card in his hand, "I have a little help. A demon who can kill you Drum Bunker Dragon."

Meglax saw the image and frowned when he saw it.

AC: This is the end of this episode. It will take three or four weeks before the next one will come out. It will be a longer chapter and I'll be busy for a while during those weeks.

Next episode is the second part.
